Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וַתֹּ֨אמֶר֙ שִׁפְחָ֣תְךָ֔ יִֽהְיֶה־נָּ֛א דְּבַר־אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ לִמְנוּחָ֑ה כִּ֣י ׀ כְּמַלְאַ֣ךְ הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן אֲדֹנִ֤י הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ לִשְׁמֹ֨עַ֙ הַטּ֣וֹב וְהָרָ֔ע
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said maidservant_of,your will_belong please message/matter_of my=master the=king (into),rest that/for/because/then/when like,the_angel_of the=ʼElohīm yes/correct/thus/so my=master the=king to,hear (the),good and,(the),bad and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be with,you )
Some versions end the second-level quotation after rest. Alternate translation: [Then your maidservant said, ‘Now the word of my lord the king will be for rest.’ For like an angel of God, so is my lord the king, to understand good and evil]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
יִֽהְיֶה־נָּ֛א דְּבַר־אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ לִמְנוּחָ֑ה כִּ֣י ׀ כְּמַלְאַ֣ךְ הָאֱלֹהִ֗ים כֵּ֣ן אֲדֹנִ֤י הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ לִשְׁמֹ֨עַ֙ הַטּ֣וֹב וְהָרָ֔ע
will_belong (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said maidservant_of,your will_belong please message/matter_of my=master the=king (into),rest that/for/because/then/when like,the_angel_of the=ʼElohīm yes/correct/thus/so my=master the=king to,hear (the),good and,(the),bad and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be with,you )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since my lord the king is like an angel of God, to understand good and evil, now the word of my lord the king will be for rest]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יִֽהְיֶה & דְּבַר־אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ לִמְנוּחָ֑ה
will_belong & (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said maidservant_of,your will_belong please message/matter_of my=master the=king (into),rest that/for/because/then/when like,the_angel_of the=ʼElohīm yes/correct/thus/so my=master the=king to,hear (the),good and,(the),bad and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be with,you )
The woman is using the term word to represent what the king would say by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what my lord the king tells me will be for rest]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
יִֽהְיֶה & לִמְנוּחָ֑ה
will_belong & (into),rest
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of rest, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [will restore me to a restful situation]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
כֵּ֣ן אֲדֹנִ֤י הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙
(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said maidservant_of,your will_belong please message/matter_of my=master the=king (into),rest that/for/because/then/when like,the_angel_of the=ʼElohīm yes/correct/thus/so my=master the=king to,hear (the),good and,(the),bad and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be with,you )
Since the woman has already referred to David as my lord the king once in this sentence, it may be more natural in your language to use a pronoun in this second instance. Alternate translation: [so is he]
Note 6 topic: translate-blessing
וַֽיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ יְהִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ
and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said maidservant_of,your will_belong please message/matter_of my=master the=king (into),rest that/for/because/then/when like,the_angel_of the=ʼElohīm yes/correct/thus/so my=master the=king to,hear (the),good and,(the),bad and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be with,you )
The woman is asking God to bless King David. In your translation, use a form that people would recognize as a blessing in your language. You could express this as a prayer if that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I pray that Yahweh your God will continue to guide and support you]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַֽיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ יְהִ֥י עִמָּֽךְ
and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_said maidservant_of,your will_belong please message/matter_of my=master the=king (into),rest that/for/because/then/when like,the_angel_of the=ʼElohīm yes/correct/thus/so my=master the=king to,hear (the),good and,(the),bad and=YHWH God_of,your let_it_be with,you )
See how you translated the similar expression in [3:12](../03/12.md). Alternate translation: [And may Yahweh your God help you]
OET (OET-LV) maidservant_of_your And_she/it_said may_it_become please the_message_of my_master the_king (into)_rest if/because like_the_messenger_of the_ʼElohīm is_so my_master the_king to_hear (the)_good and_(the)_bad and_YHWH god_of_your may_he_be with_you.
OET (OET-RV) And your female servant thought, ‘Please, let the word of my master the king become my assurance, because my master the king is like God’s messenger when it comes to understanding good and evil. And may Yahweh your god be with you.’ ”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
